Cisco

Steady pay, good overall benefits (until they take those away), if you really don't want to work, you have a great place to hide.

Lack of promotion opportunities, completely clueless middle and upper management, and short-sightedness – the next quarter is all management is worried about. It would be nice to have a long-term plan that showed where we are going and how we are going to get there. The main R&D is to buy a company that does something we want, put a logo on it, and say it is part of the "human network."

Start showing people you really want them to work at Cisco.

Until then, you will have people logged into Sametime and "checked out."
